Could a midget submarine worth a few million dollars sink an entire, powerful US Navy fleet? As 5,000 Marines advance on Kharg Island, they don't know they are falling into a "killing zone" prepared with primitive weapons that the most modern radar cannot detect. Why did $8 million US Navy Tomahawk missiles fail against old shipping containers, and can Delta Force stop a global economic disaster before it's too late?

00:00The most dangerous part of the Persian Gulf is not the missiles you see on radar, it's the one you
00:04don't.
00:051.14 AM, the northern Persian Gulf, latitude 29.2 degrees north longitude, 50.3 degrees east.
00:13Inside the darkened Combat Information Center of the USS Wasp, a sensor technician slams his fist onto a glass console.
00:21Vessel-identified Iranian Ghadir-class midget submarine.
00:24He's sitting on the bottom dead silent, exactly where our landing craft are scheduled to pass in six minutes.
00:30On the flight deck above, 24 operators from Delta Force's Specialized Counter-WMD team are checking their night vision optics.
00:37They are the razor-sharp tip of a 5,000 marine sphere intended to seize Karg Island, the world's most
00:43critical oil choke point.
00:45If they fail to neutralize the island's defenses in the next 14 minutes, the landing force won't be invading an
00:51island.
00:51They will be sailing into a prepared mass grave.
00:54This is the moment the U.S. deploys something the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps never saw coming.
01:00Here is the second-by-second breakdown of the assault on Karg Island.
01:03To understand why 5,000 marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit are currently surging toward a 21-square-kilometer
01:12rock, you have to look at the numbers.
01:14Karg Island is not just territory. It is the jugular vein of the Iranian state.
01:2095% of Iran's total oil exports pass through the T-Jetty and L-Jetty terminals on this single island.
01:27For the U.S. 5th Fleet, Karg is a tactical nightmare.
01:31It is surrounded by shallow, reef-filled waters that make it nearly impossible for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to get
01:37close enough for a traditional naval bombardment.
01:40The Iranians have spent 40 years turning the island into a forbidden fortress, stacking it with legacy Soviet-era anti
01:47-air batteries and modern, indigenously-produced cruise missile launchers.
01:51The U.S. strategic goal is a surgical seizure.
01:55They don't want to blow the island up.
01:57Destroying the terminals would trigger a $500 billion global economic shockwave and send oil prices to over $200 a barrel
02:06within hours.
02:07They have to take it intact.
02:08To do that, the Pentagon has deployed the Superior Bridge, a first-of-its-kind integration between the heavy-lift
02:15amphibious power of the Navy and the high-altitude precision of Tier 1 Special Operations.
02:20At 1.20 a.m., the first link in the kill chain is activated.
02:25It doesn't start in the Gulf.
02:26It starts 500 miles above it.
02:28A KH-11, Kennen-Spy satellite, a machine capable of resolving objects as small as 4 inches from space, transmits
02:37a multi-spectral thermal map of Karg's southern tip.
02:40This data is fed into a Navy E-2D Hawkeye circling over Kuwait.
02:45The Hawkeye doesn't just see the target, it distributes it.
02:48Using Link-16 and the cooperative engagement capability, the Hawkeye feeds the coordinates of three hidden Iranian Tor M-1
02:57surface-to-air missile batteries directly into the guidance systems of four BGM-109 Tomahawk land-attack missiles launched from
03:07the USS Laboon, positioned 150 miles away in the Arabian Sea.
03:12These BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles costing $2.1 million apiece aren't flying a straight line.
03:21They are skimming the wavetops at 550 miles per hour using terrain-matching radar to weave between the oil rigs
03:27scattered throughout the Gulf.
03:29Their mission is to blind the giant before the Marines ever hit the beach.
03:32Each missile processes millions of data points per second, ensuring it avoids the defensive noise of the Iranian coast.
03:39The system is designed for perfection, but the human factor on the other side is already preparing a counter-move
03:46that no computer can predict.
03:48Technology is a powerful tool, but it is not a substitute for cunning.
03:52The Iranian commander on Karg Island, General Mousavi, knows he cannot win a high-tech duel.
03:58Instead, he has turned the island into an asymmetric trap.
04:01As the BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles close in Mousavi doesn't turn on his high-powered radars.
04:08Doing so would be a death sentence attracting AGM-88.
04:13Harm anti-radiation missiles carried by the hovering F-slash-A-18 growlers.
04:19Instead, the Iranians deploy digital decoys.
04:22These are cheap $5,000 radio emitters that mimic the exact electronic signature of a Tor M1 battery.
04:29Inside the USS Kearney's CIC, the sensor techs cheer as the screens show the BGM-109 Tomahawks impacting their targets.
04:41But the victory is a lie.
04:42The $8.4 million volley has successfully destroyed four shipping containers filled with copper wire and car batteries.
04:51The Realtor M1 batteries remain cold, silent, and very much alive hidden beneath camouflaged concrete slabs that the U.S.
04:59satellite sensors mistook for natural rock formations.
05:021.28 a.m. The amphibious assault begins.
05:06The USS Somerset, a San Antonio-class landing platform dock, begins launching its LCACs.
05:14These massive hovercraft carrying M1A2 Abrams tanks and hundreds of Marines roar across the water at over 40 miles per
05:22hour.
05:23Confidence is high.
05:24The superior electronic warfare suites on the U.S. ships believe they have jammed Iranian communications to zero.
05:31But Mousavi isn't using radio.
05:33He is using a legacy low-tech solution, a hard-wired undersea fiber optic cable that connects the island's observation
05:41posts to the hidden batteries.
05:43Suddenly, the darkness of the Karg coastline is shattered.
05:46Not by high-tech missiles, but by a saturation swarm of 107-millimeter unguided rockets launched from multiple launch systems
05:54hidden in the terminal's concrete silos.
05:56The U.S. Aegis system, designed to track high-speed supersonic threats, momentarily struggles with the sheer volume of low
06:05-tech, slow-moving projectiles.
06:06Over 100 rockets are in the air at once.
06:09The USS Somerset's RIM-116RAM system wakes up.
06:16The 21-cell launcher begins a frantic ripple fire, each missile screaming off the rail at 1,500 miles per
06:23hour to intercept a rocket.
06:25But the math is against them.
06:26A single 107-millimeter rocket, a weapon that costs less than a high-end mountain bike, slips through the defensive
06:34screen.
06:34It impacts the port-side stern of the USS Somerset.
06:38The explosion isn't enough to sink the 25,000-ton ship, but it rips through the aviation fuel lines on
06:44the flight deck.
06:45A massive fireball erupts, engulfing two AH-1Zed, Viper attack helicopters preparing to launch.
06:53Inbound second wave, the lookout screams.
06:56This is the price of arrogance.
06:58The U.S. planners assumed the Iranians would try to fight a naval battle.
07:02They didn't expect the island itself to act as a giant, unsinkable missile battery, using weapons too cheap to be
07:08effectively jammed.
07:09The USS Somerset begins to list five degrees as damage control teams fight the Inferno.
07:15The amphibious assault has just hit a wall of fire, and the mission is seconds away from a total abort.
07:21The sailors on the Somerset are fighting for their lives, while the Marines in the LCACs are sitting ducks in
07:27the surf.
07:27With the main landing force stalled and under fire, the mission falls to the Delta Force teams in the CH
07:34-53K King Stallions.
07:36They realize that if the TOR-M1 batteries aren't taken out manually, the entire 24th MEU will be slaughtered on
07:44the approach.
07:45The lead pilot callsign Voodoo-1 makes a split-second decision.
07:48He takes the 88,000-pound helicopter down to treetop level using the island's central ridge to hide from the
07:55Iranian radar.
07:56He isn't following the preset flight plan anymore.
07:58He is flying by instinct.
08:00As the helicopters flare over the ridge, the Delta teams utilize digital painting.
08:05They aren't firing weapons yet.
08:07They are using handheld laser designators to mark the real TOR-M1 batteries that the satellites missed.
08:13This is where the system of systems proves its worth.
08:16The laser signals from the Delta operators are picked up by an F-35B Lightning II flying 30,000 feet
08:23above.
08:23The pilot doesn't even have to look at the targets.
08:26The plane's computer automatically generates a firing solution for the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles carried by the Vipers that managed
08:35to launch from the USS Wasp.
08:37The AGM-114 Hellfire.
08:41A precision-guided tank killer is the perfect tool for this environment.
08:45At $150,000 per shot, it is surgical.
08:49Within 90 seconds, the real TOR-M1 batteries, the ones that were hiding while the tomahawks hit the decoys, are
08:55vaporized.
08:56With the air defenses shattered, the U.S. can finally bring in the heavy hammer.
09:00The USS Laboon launches a volley of AGM-158 CLRASM.
09:07These are the smartest missiles in the U.S. inventory.
09:10They don't need a GPS feed.
09:12They use onboard AI to recognize the shape of the Iranian fast attack boats that are currently swarming out of
09:18the Karg Harbor to hit the LCACs.
09:21The AGM-158 CLRASM missiles weave through the swarm at high subsonic speeds, picking off the command boats with terrifying
09:33precision.
09:33Each impact is a $3 million statement of power.
09:37The Iranian fast attack fleet, which relied on the chaos of the rocket swarm, is systematically dismantled.
09:43The LCACs finally see a clear path to the beach, but the battle for the oil terminals is only just
09:50beginning.
09:50The LCACs hit the beach at 1.45 a.m.
09:54The ramps drop and 500 Marines storm the T-jetty.
09:58They are met with intense small arms fire from IRGC defenders entrenched in the oil storage tanks.
10:05The Iranians attempt a final desperate move.
10:07They have rigged the main pipeline with demolition charges.
10:10If we can't have the oil, nobody can still, the IRGC commander orders.
10:15A Delta Force sniper positioned on a crane 400 yards away sees the technician reaching for the detonator.
10:22He doesn't use a rifle.
10:23He uses the F-35B's data link to call in a precision strike from an overhead MQ-9 Reaper drone.
10:31The Reaper releases an AGM-114R-9X, also known as the Ninja Bomb.
10:38This version of the Hellfire doesn't have an explosive warhead.
10:42Instead, it deploys six long blades a second before impact to neutralize the target without igniting the surrounding oil fumes.
10:49The technician is neutralized, the detonator is crushed, and the global economy is saved by a weapon that uses steel
10:55instead of fire.
10:56As the Marines secure the northern end of the island, the Iranian mainland launches a final retaliatory strike.
11:03Three Kalij-Fars anti-ship ballistic missiles are detected rising from the hills near Bondar Up.
11:09These missiles travel at over 2,300 miles per hour and are designed specifically to sink U.S. carriers.
11:15The U.S. fleet has less than three minutes before impact.
11:19The USS Kearney, acting as the strike group's shield, doesn't hesitate.
11:23It fires two RIM-174 Standard Extended Range Active Missiles, or the RIM-174 SM-6.
11:34Each one costs $4.3 million and represents the pinnacle of American interception tech.
11:40It accelerates to 2,600 miles per hour, heading for a point in space where the Iranian ballistic missiles are
11:47just beginning their terminal dive.
11:48The interception happens at 60,000 feet.
11:51The night sky over the Gulf flashes bright white as the kinetic energy of the RIM-174 SM-6 vaporizes
12:00the Iranian warheads.
12:02Simultaneously, an Iranian drone swarm approaches the wounded USS Somerset.
12:06The ship's RIM-162 ESSM takes over.
12:12The RIM-162 ESSM is a short-to-medium range interceptor that can perform 50G maneuvers.
12:20It hunts down the low-flying drones with terrifying efficiency, creating a ring of steel around the ship and ensuring
12:26the Iranian counter-strike ends in total failure.
12:29By 2.30 a.m., the resistance on Karg Island is broken.
12:33The 5,000 Marines have established a perimeter around the critical infrastructure.
12:37The Delta Force teams conduct a final sweep of the underground bunkers.
12:41They find the fiber-optic command center that allowed Mousavi to bypass U.S. jamming.
12:46It is a sobering reminder that a $100 cable nearly defeated a $100 billion task force.
12:53This engagement provides a vital lesson for modern warfare, the legacy gap.
12:57The U.S. military entered the fight assuming their multi-billion-dollar sensor suites would render the enemy invisible.
13:04They learned that the more sophisticated a system becomes, the more it creates blind spots for simple, low-tech threats.
13:11The AN-S-PY-6 radar on the destroyers is designed to find a stealth fighter at 200 miles, but
13:19it struggled to prioritize a 107-millimeter unguided rocket launched from a concrete tube.
13:25The lesson learned is that technology is a force multiplier, not a force replacement.
13:30Arrogance in tech is a vulnerability.
13:32The superior weapon wasn't just the BGM-109 Tomahawk.
13:37It was the Delta operator who realized the satellites were wrong and used a handheld laser to correct the machine's
13:43mistake.
13:44In the age of AI and hypersonic missiles, the ultimate superior asset remains the human ability to adapt when the
13:51plan falls apart.
13:52What part of this mission shocked you the most?
13:55Was it the effectiveness of the low-tech Iranian rocket trap or the way the ninja bomb saved the oil
14:00terminals from certain destruction?
